Her hands were shaking slightly and she looked nervously towards the door. What she had just experienced made her afraid of any sudden noise.

Shen Qingyue took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions. She stood up and walked slowly towards the door, taking every step with extreme caution.

Her heartbeat was pounding in her ears, and an unknown fear spread in her heart.

With every step she took, she was struggling internally, constantly reminding herself to stay calm.

Shen Qingyue's hand that was holding the scissors tightly began to sweat. She felt the slipperiness of her palms and the coldness of the handle of the scissors.

Every step she took seemed extremely heavy, and her heartbeat was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to jump out.

Her throat was dry and her heart was filled with uneasiness, but she still tried to maintain a calm exterior.

She realizes that she must bravely face possible dangers.

Shen Qingyue took a deep breath, tried to stabilize her emotions, and then asked loudly: "Who is it?" Although her voice tried to sound firm, there was inevitably a tremor in it.

Shen Qingyue's heart beat rapidly in her chest, and every knock on the door was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

She held the scissors tightly in her hands, as if this would give her some sense of security. She stood at the door of the office, her body tense and her heart filled with fear.

The knocking suddenly became more urgent and forceful. Shen Qingyue's heart beat faster and faster. She stared at the door nervously, not knowing what would happen next.

Her thoughts struggled with brief hesitations, and each second seemed unusually long.

However, in this tense atmosphere, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Qingyue, it's me, Mingyuan."

Hearing Jiang Mingyuan's voice, Shen Qingyue felt relieved, her tension instantly dissipated, and she felt an unprecedented peace of mind.

She put down the scissors with trembling hands and walked quickly to the door, eager to see a familiar face.

Her hands hurriedly unlocked the door, her heartbeat still racing, but this time it was because of the comfort of seeing her family soon.

The door slowly opened, and what came into view were the smiling faces of Jiang Mingyuan and Dongdong. Their appearance was like a beam of light in the night, dispelling the gloom in Shen Qingyue's heart.

"Mingyuan!" Shen Qingyue's voice was trembling, but more of a joy, and she walked out of the door quickly.

Jiang Mingyuan looked at Shen Qingyue nervously, his eyes full of worry.

He felt something unusual about Shen Qingyue, her eyes seemed dazed, and the traces of tears remaining in the corners of her eyes made his heart tighten instantly.

"Qingyue, what happened? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Mingyuan's voice was full of concern. He gently stretched out his hand, trying to touch Shen Qingyue and give her some comfort.

Shen Qingyue raised her head. At that moment, her eyes were full of vulnerability. All the strength and fear seemed to collapse in front of Jiang Mingyuan's concern.

She suddenly lost all control and tears began to flow silently again.

Her body trembled slightly, as if seeking some kind of support. Then, she almost instinctively threw herself into Jiang Mingyuan's arms and hugged him tightly. Jiang Mingyuan felt Shen Qingyue's body trembling in his arms, and his heart instantly softened.

He held her gently, his arms wrapping tightly around her, providing the most solid comfort.

"It's okay, Qingyue, I'm here." Jiang Mingyuan's voice was gentle. He gently patted Shen Qingyue's back, trying to make her feel safe.

Shen Qingyue buried her head in Jiang Mingyuan's arms, tears soaking his shirt. Her breathing gradually became even, and the panic in her heart slowly subsided.

Dongdong stood aside, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't fully understand what was happening, but he could feel that his mother needed his father's love at this moment.

After a while, Shen Qingyue finally calmed down. She slowly raised her head from Jiang Mingyuan's arms. Although her eyes were still red and swollen, a forced smile appeared on her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm just...a little scared." Shen Qingyue's voice was trembling as she tried to explain that she was out of control.

Jiang Mingyuan gently held Shen Qingyue's hand and conveyed comfort with his powerful eyes: "It's okay, Qingyue, you are safe now. We are all here."

Jiang Mingyuan's eyes were affectionate and firm. He asked softly: "Qingyue, what happened? Why are you so scared?" His voice was full of worry, and his eyes were locked tightly on Shen Qingyue, for fear of missing any detail of her. expression.

Shen Qingyue took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She began to describe what had just happened in the office, her voice trembling but gradually becoming clearer.

"I was working in the office just now. All my colleagues had left, and I stayed alone to work overtime. Suddenly, I heard movement at the door. I thought it was Aunt Fengying coming back to get something, but no one responded to me."

Shen Qingyue's eyes gradually became confused, as if she had returned to that terrifying moment again. "Then, I saw a figure, a woman, standing at the door, staring at me."

"I asked her who she was, but she didn't speak and just stood there." Shen Qingyue's hands clenched unconsciously, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Mingyuan held Shen Qingyue's hand tightly and gave her strength. "I was scared, really scared. I didn't know why she was there or what she wanted to do. I could only pick up the scissors and defend myself."

"When I mustered up the courage to walk towards her, she suddenly turned around and ran away." Shen Qingyue's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that the experience had brought her great psychological pressure.

Jiang Mingyuan's brows furrowed, and his heart was filled with worry. "Qingyue, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling anything else?" His voice was full of care, and he was obviously very concerned about Shen Qingyue's safety.

Shen Qingyue shook her head, trying to look stronger. "I'm fine, just a little scared."

Jiang Mingyuan's brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed firm determination.

He whispered to Shen Qingyue: "Qingyue, I will find out who did this and make sure it won't happen again." His voice was low and firm, giving Shen Qingyue an incomparable sense of security.

Shen Qingyue's eyes still flickered with uneasiness, and her voice was weak: "I just want to go home, I don't want to stay here anymore." Her eyes wandered in the dim garment factory, as if every corner there was... There are unknown dangers hidden.

Jiang Mingyuan gently held her hand, conveying warmth. He comforted her softly: "Okay, let's leave now."

He gently said to Shen Qingyue: "Qingyue, you and Dongdong wait for me here first, and I'll turn off the lights and lock the door."
